| Disregard of profession at GMC Jammu | | Doc refuses to provide treatment | | Avinash Azad
JAMMU, July 14: Disregarding his profession, a doctor on duty at emergency block of Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) Jammu today refused to provide treatment to patient who was suffering from abdominal pain.
A middle-age man, Kamal Kumar who was suffering from abdominal pain visited GMC today afternoon and consulted Dr Shouqat Choudhary who advised him to be admitted in hospital for further treatment.
When his attendant approached the Casualty Medical Officer (CMO) for further treatment, another CMO Dr Sauqib Shafi in CMO's cabin refused to take care of the patient. The patient remained un-attended for more than two hours due to un-ethical approach of the doctor.
When contacted, Principal GMCH, Dr Ganshyam Dev Gupta told this journo that action would be taken against the erring doctor, since it was negligence on part of doctor. "Disregard of duties of doctors and any other officials at GMCH will not be tolerated", he said, adding that efforts are being made to create friendly environment between staff and patients.
It is pertinent to mention here that Dr Sauqib Shafi was posted at GMCH Jammu under violation of transfer policy of Jammu and Kashmir Health department. According to Government order number 132-HME of 2014, dated 4/3/2014, Dr. Sauqib Shafi son of Mohammad Shafi Kar, resident of near Police Station Shopian, district Shopian Kashmir was appointed as Medical Officer in the pay band of Rs. 9300-34800 with grade pay of Rs. 5400 to Health and Family Welfare (Gazetted) service.
Dr. Sauqib Shafi was among the 767 medical officers appointed on regular temporary basis by J&K Health and Family Welfare department and was asked to report Director Health Services Kashmir or Jammu. As per the order, it has clearly been written that all the appointees would be on probation period of two years and were supposed to report in their respective divisions and would remain at the first place of posting for at least two years, as per transfer policy.
Holding close allegiance with some bureaucrats or a Minister, Dr. Sauqib Shafi managed transfer from Kashmir division to Jammu division within nearly four months of his appointment in the department. Surprisingly, as per another order number 105/AHJ of 2014 dated, 30-06-2014, the medical officer got himself transferred to Medical College Jammu and has been appointed in Government Medical College Jammu. "Dr. Sauqib Shafi, MBBS has been posted as Casualty Medical Officer (CMO) Medical College and Hospital Jammu", the order read.
Sources in Health and Medical Education informed that generally the division of a doctor could not be changed as it was the violation of rule book but Dr. Sauqib managed to change his division. "The division of a doctor or medical officer cannot be changed as he is appointed against the vacancy of doctors in that particular directorate. The change of division is obviously violation of rules", a senior doctor said. |
